Did you know that over 56% of women in tech are likely to leave the industry before mid-career? Launched by @Cadence, Fem.AI is an initiative that seeks to empower women and drive change towards a fairer tech sector by investing in non-profits, championing women-led ventures, and driving product innovation. AJL founder @jovialjoy was invited to speak at the inaugural Fem.AI Summit alongside other incredible women in tech, such as Tina Jones, @reshmasaujani, Nicole Johnson, and @ChelseaClinton . It was a fantastic day of cross-industry collaboration to find actionable solutions to gender inequity in AI careers.
On a black background, there is an image of Tina Jones, Dr. Joy Buolamwini, Reshma Saujani, Nicole Johnson, and Chelsea Clinton. Underneath, red and white text reads "Fem.AI Summit. Dr. Joy Buolamwini. AJL Founder | Speaker." The red AJL logo is in the bottom right corner.

There is a graphic of a girl looking at computer screens with the Fem.AI logo in the top half. The lower half has a white background and a large red quotation mark, followed by black and red text that reads "The rapid expansion of AI brings immense opportunities for the workforce. However, if women continue to be left out, the effects will hinder innovation and exacerbate current labor shortages in the high-tech sector. Tina Jones. Senior Vice President, Global Human Resources at Cadence." The red AJL logo is in the bottom right corner.

Last month, we shared RWJF's Plain Language Dashboard (policy-dashboard.newdisabled…) which breaks down complicated policy documents so that they are easier to understand. Find out more why #plainlanguage in #policy is important:

Congratulations to Robert Williams, the winner of AJL’s first Gender Shades Justice Award, for finally reaching a settlement agreement in his lawsuit with the @ACLUofMichigan against the @detroitpolice Department. Williams was arrested for shoplifting based on faulty facial recognition technology, and since then, he has been working tirelessly to protect others from the dangerous uses of this technology. You can read more about Robert Williams and his case in his @TIME op-ed: shorturl.at/L8xK9 and more about AJL’s Gender Shades Justice Award in this press release: shorturl.at/jIJ3N
